I was told offline I need to provide this information ASAP. Trying to be brief until after RH. Caleb described the issue, so I feel safe in expanding now. In January a mod asked a discussion question on the mod team: should we require that people use preferred pronouns? My answer said we must n...

I guess you can add my name to the "suspended activity" list. There's been a hell of a lot of conversation in TL in the last few days, more over an extended period than I've ever seen before in 3 years there. But still there's no clear statement from staff on exactly what the new updates to the ...

I am also recording as inactive as a moderator on Spanish.SE. Count me in the "suspended activity" list. I do feel things are not being handled right and agree with what Gilles explained in his resignation notice: I have witnessed a disagreement between moderators where both sides made some ...

Goodbye. We will miss you. Thanks for all that you've done for our community.

I will be leaving as a moderator as soon as SE-the-company reacts to my request. The immediate reason for this decision is a network-wide discussion; see this MSE thread for context. But for several years now I have been unhappy with SE-the-network for sites around the humanities. Low quality co...

In the past few days, y'all have witnessed the terrible action Stack Exchange's done: They dismissed Monica, one of the most beloved and respected moderator and community members. Following that, all three remaining The Workplace moderators have since declared their resignation. (Snow, Jane S, Mi...

I am also suspending my activity as a moderator. Combined with Rand al'Thor's suspension of activity, this means Science Fiction & Fantasy will be without its two most active moderators. I was offline this weekend on vacation when this all went down so I'm still catching up on all the discussion...

tl;dr - I mod 6 sites: Security, Music, Parenting, Outdoors, Sound and Video - I'm suspending all my mod activity on them until SE sort this out. I am just one voice among many, but I hope I add to the clamour. I have been hovering in TL hoping someone from Stack Exchange would come in with any ...

The entire internet is laughing about this. SO will be around long after the woke temper tantrum dies down. -500 points for an admin coming in to tell you there were other issues with the moderator. Don't go against the hivemind! Lets be honest with each other. The power users are going nowhere....

Thank you for all the hard work as a diamond moderator - as a former diamond mod on RPG.SE I know how much thankless work is involved. Thank you also for the principled stand, I would like to think that if my mod team had a fellow mod treated this way by the CMs we'd have mass resigned in protes...

Here is the thing Stepping down as a moderator is not going to get them where they need to be. Suspending your activity while staying a mod even less so. Until you zero out your account reputation by deleting your profile on all the sites, you are just tilting windmills. They just need to wai...

tl;dr I am a moderator on Unix & Linux, Ask Ubuntu and Bioinformatics. I am stopping all moderating activity until further notice. I too will be suspending modly activities for a while. I am 100% in favor of just about any measure I can imagine that would make any minority feel more welcome. T...

This has reached the point where coverage is starting to appear outside of the Stack Exchange network: The Register: "The mod firing squad: Stack Exchange embroiled in 'he said, she said, they said' row"

Prologue Earlier today, I resigned as a moderator on both Stack Overflow and Ebooks. I feel I owe this community some attempt at an explanation. Please understand that I cannot offer a full explanation of everything that led me to this decision. This is likely going to strike many people as vagu...

This is a deliberate cross-post of my announcement on meta.stackexchange.com. Because the content and meaning of the announcement is the same for both sites, I have not edited it to be specific to Ebooks. But, because it impacts both sites, I feel it is important for me to post it in both loca...

Hey man, It must have taken a lot to get to this point. The technologies I use overlapped with yours and in the past I have enjoyed our encounters. You often provided sage outlook to users in need, and the behind the scenes work you did was probably not heralded, but was certainly noticed. I h...

Considering (not so) recent events that have taken place on Stack Exchange, along with how they're handled (boilerplate response from staff), I am resigning. Things that have happened here make me not want to associate with Stack Exchange, as enforcing a vague CoC before it's even in effect is so...

As many of you may have noticed, Monica Cellio is no longer a moderator on Writing.SE, or on any of the several stacks where she has served for years. This was due to a sudden decision by Stack Exchange staff and was not Monica’s choice (or ours). She remains a SE user with no change in reputat...

Sorry to hear this Rob, always enjoyed working with you back when I held my diamond. Sounds like SE is being infected by the Woke virus with this preferred pronoun nonsense - but it's not my site so I don't have a freedom of expression leg I can stand on. Can't say I use the SE network much any m...

tl;dr I am a moderator Parenting. I am stopping all moderating activity until further notice. From a tiny minnow in a pretty large pond: I spent the better part of a day reading many days worth of transcripts from the TL in which the issue originated. While I take no issue with the only propo...

We can support the Lavender community of Stack Exchange and protest SE's treatment of Monica. As a queer cis woman and SE moderator, I support the announced policy of using the pronouns that an individual requests. I also feel that SE has handled this situation extremely badly. They can fix it...

The past several days have been turbulent across the Stack Exchange network, to say the least. In fact, more so than what has been the usual case even lately. The immediate situation came to a head for myself, as well as many others, when Monica Cellio was, effectively, summarily dismissed as a ...

I'm resigning as a pro-tem moderator on Writing, effective immediately. Stack Exchange is a company that relies on volunteer labor from users and moderators. I've valued my connections with Stack Exchange over the years, both as pro-tem moderator of Bicycles and later here on Writing. I've enjoy...

I don't know you but as a stackoverflow user i would like to thank you and hope this decision to make your later times full of happiness

I'm a moderator on Security.SE, and have been for almost 9 years - since its very first days of closed beta. TL;DR I am suspending my mod activity on Security.SE immediately, will turn this into resigning depending on how/if/when SE fixes their s* *t. I'm joining this thread rather late - betwe...
